Epilox® 5500 Infusion Laminating System
The Epilox® Laminating System 5500 consists of one epoxy resin and 2 amine hardeners specially designed for the hand lay up process. The system demonstrates good fiber wetting.
Epilox® Laminating Resin ER 5500 is a modified epoxy resin based on Bisphenol A.
It is solvent free and unfilled. Epilox® Hardener EC 5520 has a long potlife with moderate exothermal reaction. The pot life can be adjusted to the specific needs by mixing the .Epilox® Hardener EC 5520 and Epilox® Hardener EC 5530 in any ratio.
Epilox® Hardener EC 5530 has a short potlife and high TG with short curing times.
Epilox® Laminating System 5500 meets DNV-GL requirements.
Applications:
Epilox® Laminating System 5500 is designed for the manufacture of structural composites for the wind energy industry featuring high static and dynamic load ability with glass, carbon and aramid fiber reinforcements.
Bio-based carbon content
Resin: max. 35%
System: max 27%
